If it's the rear badge, the Lexus SC-430 badge is bigger and covers the holes.

DO what i did:-)

Go to a TRophy Shop. Give them your badge and ask them to cut out some Thin PLastic in the same size. It will be self adhesive.

Then, Scuff it with some 220 grade paper. Apply Some Primer, Then get a Can of Paint matched to your car:-) Give it about 6-8 coats ( letting each dry ), After its dry, Apply some CLear ( i did about 6 to allow for polishing).

Let it dry for a couple of days. Then polish it nice and smooth with a fine cut and polish. THEN use some Wax/Tar remover ( yes this will remove the polish but that was for a nice smooth finish). Then Stick on your L Bagde:-) Then use the Tar/Wax remover on the section where the badge will go. Then Stick your new bade on.

Polish the inside of the badge and around it. It looks Trick. I will take some pics of mine.

Also, it sounds hard but it so easy to do. I am actually in the process of changing the front ot an L badge also, via the same route. This way its all nice and colour matched:-)
